Here at BuzzFeed Books, we think of librarians as basically superheroes.

one of my very best friends is a librarian and something i think about a lot is the time we were at a party and a very kind, very drunk woman found out she was a librarian and said, "THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE!!!!"

So we’ve put together a completely unscientific survey asking all of the questions we laypeople are wondering — about secrets, frustrations, trends, etc. We’d love to hear from you! Fill out the survey here, and your responses might be included in a future BuzzFeed Books post. (FYI: An email address is required, but will be used only for follow-up questions, if we have any.)
